Gretchen Fawn Photo - part of the Snoqualmie Moms Support Collective

I kept thinking this weekend, that I need to post to the blog! So here I am on late Monday night. I was able to show some family pictures tonight. I can't wait to get the Christmas cards printed. I just got new templates and can't wait to share them with you! I will put some together hopefully tomorrow. They are beautiful. I was looking back over the trip we took to Lake Chelan this September. (here I am relaxing on the beach I think of as mini Hawaii=) It is so beautiful there and the water looks clear blue in some of the pictures. A friend suggested we come up with a special rate and take everyone's family pictures when we are there next year! I love that idea! Let me know if you have any family functions where you have more than one "branch" of your family together and we can definentely come up with a package where we can photograph one big family of you all and then break it down into the smaller groups. More to come....Gretchen

Hello friends, Isn't this weather glorious? My kids think so, however, they had to go get some blackberry leaves for our stick bugs this morning.

All the better for our outdoor natural light photography. Here is a photo of my friend Heather! Over the weekend, I was able to help my brother, Alex take his first portraits. He recently switched majors to photography at UW. He came over and we went over the basics, then went outside, the clouds parted and we actually got some sunshine! He had the idea to shoot in front of the fall leaves! Red and crisp. Love it! He fb me and called me that he wanted to shoot more! Creativity is in the blood I tell you. My sister Julie has her BFA from Southern Oregon and has lived there for the last 10 or more years. She has her own printmaking studio called PROOF in Talent, OR. You can find...
